Legendary tennis champion and philanthropist Billie Jean King will talk about her world-class athletic career and her work as an advocate for social change and equality at an event Monday sponsored by the Women's Fund of Central Indiana.

"Women's Fund is excited to have Billie Jean King join us because her work in the area of equality and social justice is an exact parallel to our efforts to improve conditions for women and girls in our community," said Jennifer Pope Baker, executive director of the Women's Fund, a non-profit organization.
